A picture of an alchemical bottle with two people in it. There are insects all around and a diamond. It’s very mysterious.
Ever wanted to do alchemy?
With artist hannah battershell, I’m going to be telling a story which will transform our lead into gold (hopefully).
We will all be outside in the very centre of London and it’s going to be this summer.
Yes you are not the first to suggest this to me (and thank you!!) but I have something else on too…
A tombstone from Edwardian times which has grown into a tree. It’s spring and the first flowers are out
life and death gain and loss intertwined today and always #london #photography
Have loved your workshops Polis!!
Both Vanessa and Space for Storytelling are wonderful. 👇
Me demonstrating a storytelling prop. I am lit dramatically.
I’ve been running free professional storytelling workshops in Waterloo for almost 3 yrs now!
We welcome folks of all levels - we share our skills and learn together.
Great professional skills mean a stronger sector. Whats good for one is good for all.

One of my favourite poplars in Peckham Rye Park.

Inspiring & thought provoking #SpaceForStorytelling.
Wendy Shearer told us a brilliant story, our participants listened & contributed respectfully, & creatively -we learned from each other.
Another packed house.
Next month is about PROPS! If you wish to tell a story which uses props let me know!
Thank you. It was a private home can you believe!
Near(ish) to Rome I mean. I still dream of this place.
A shot from the window: the valley is full of cloud and the building appears to be floating
Me storytelling by ancient wall paintings and some strange metal sculptures in the castle
#throwbackthursday storytelling visit to roccasinebalda castle in the clouds (in Rome)
One of the weirdest jobs I ever did!
Never ever ever forget that LLMs don’t give actual answers, they just spit out imitations of what an answer might look like. Very good imitations at that, to the point where sometimes the answer is right. But it’ll always be a tribute act rather than the original artist. An answer lookalike.
